Every year, the LGBTQ+ Services Committee, opens a new window has invited an author to speak to the PCPL community. These authors have been gay, lesbian, bisexual, trans, genderqueer, or otherwise queer members of the LGBTQ+ community, and have been authors of fiction and nonfiction, prose and poetry. We’ve held these talks at the Loft Cinema on Speedway, in our library meeting rooms, and even, once, outside in Himmel Park!

We were happy to invite Robin Talley, opens a new window, a YA author living in Washington, DC, to join us via GoToWebinar on Saturday, October 24, in the afternoon.
